Why does this Non-Standard FDTD implementation lead to infinite increase in the magnitude of an EM pulse?
I have been working on a Particle-In-Cell Framework in Python and have noticed an issue where the magnitude of a EM pulse increasing infinitely as the simulation updates.
Currently, I am using the Non-...
